Got army bivvies but they are oversized, interested in how the smaller ultralight ones are constructed. But yea, keen to maybe try make one if I can get the right material.
pdlouche-
The lighter ones tend to be a bit more sculpted, like mummy bags, but they can't be too much smaller because they need to have space to allow sleeping bags to loft within them. So a lot of them are still just basic rectangles. Or do you mean, how are they stitched, specifically? I have no idea about that aspect of construction. I passed that class but my sewing was pretty bad. :)
hippy
See a bivvy or the material?
Might not be easy to get although some people are using it small scale so someone must sell it.
